NetBSD will run on a toaster, tux is shocked at the outcome.

Hauppage TV tuner DVR capability, apps for more TVs and i could kill off Plex, personally

Quality concern trolling. No notes.

A bunch of talk about UI and art, nothing about the unified code base. Will it stop sucking on Samsung TVs?

… and we killed him.

The big one is being beholden to the insurance companies and denying us universal health care. Employer tied healthcare is a huge stumbling block for worker mobility.

7 stud. Hold-em kids can’t keep track of the muck.

Green Gobbler or equivalent is great for the bio waste. My family tries to stuff chicken carcasses down the damn thing, I swear.

Season it with a little hypervigilance

nah. Think about how good computers are at pattern recognition and long term storage for analysis. Far superior to a pen and paper

It’s not about having a rigid schedule, but about actually tracking periods and analyzing the data. I’m male and that’s about all I know about it

The Chinese watch heads that track aliexpress say that the announced 11/11 sales prices aren’t that great this year (following the trend of last year) and plenty of people are waiting for US Black Friday. The really killer deals tomorrow will require the use of the Aliexpress Points system, so the people who have been collecting those will definitely buy a watch or two tomorrow.

Basically, if you haven’t been tracking prices there’s no way to know if you’re getting a deal that’s been as good as past 11/11 sales, aliexpress is famous for dealers raising prices to give a bigger % off during sales. If you’re talking about another platform I don’t have any insight.

Calculus in general is beyond my ability

yeah, but same basic parts. Same APU, smaller node. slightly faster RAM

That would be absolutely wonderful. If they could somehow future-proof their board design even if you had to have tech skills to replace it, enthusiasts could do it on their own and people who don’t want to could take it to the local tech repair shop.

The article says “no need for steam deck 2”. Valve is on record saying they wouldn’t do an incremental upgrade, they want to wait until there’s a major advance in the available technology.

truenas: plex/jellyfin, *arr stack

working on another (debian) machine to run nextcloud and immich, plan is to have a failover. Redundant machine would ideally be wake on LAN to save power. I already have commodity hardware for these two identical machines, otherwise I’d probably just go for a more robust single machine.

Mikrotik routerboard out front providing wireguard for one subnet. pi4 providing pihole on the wireguard subnet. This is a new router and I’m very happy with it. This coming weekend the goal is to correctly implement mangle rules (policy based routing) to combine my two WAN connections seamlessly.

So very standard setup for selfhosting with the exception of two ISPs

truenas is easiest to manage through the web service, debian ssh and VNC, mikrotik’s WInBox is just amazing, but it’s also the first “grown up” router software I’ve ever used. It’s so much better than managing PF through a ssh session.

Not according to the copyright alliance (emphasis mine):

While both parody and satire use humor as a tool to effectuate a message, again, the purpose of a parody is to comment on or criticize the work that is the subject of the parody. By definition, a parody is a comedic commentary about a work, that requires an imitation of the work. Satire, on the other hand, even when it uses a creative work as the vehicle for the message, offers commentary and criticism about the world, not that specific creative work. Therefore, parodies use copyrighted works for purposes that fair use was designed to protect.

It’s straight up parody. It’s a composition in the style of Johnny Cash that’s meant to be funny. That’s parody.

For anyone with the kneejerk reaction “AMERICA BAD!” because of this, it’s against FTC regulations here in the USA, but hasn’t been enforced in 50 years.

We are allowed to sue over it, but no one does. Caveat Emptor indeed.
